Question

One side of a square is 10 units. Which is greater, the number of square units for the area of the square or the number of units for the perimeter? Explain.

Answer 1

Number of units squared for the area of the square =
`10^(2)` = 100
`units^(2)`

Number of units for perimiter = 4×10 = 40units

100>40
Therefore the square units for the area is greater then the units for the perimiter
